DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game COVID Control - A Johns Hopkins University Study.
Johns Hopkins COVID Control is a fast, user-friendly tool for controlling the spread of COVID-19 based on self-reported body temperatures and, optionally, other symptoms, from users around the country.
Designed by doctors, epidemiologists, and engineers at the Johns Hopkins University (a collaborative endeavour between the Bloomberg School of Public Health, School of Medicine and the Whiting School of Engineering, all at the John Hopkins University), this app was born out of a desire for us as individuals to make an impactful contribution in this worldwide effort to contain the spread COVID-19.
In these difficult times, while we may feel helpless as individuals, the real-time insights gained from the information entered in this app will equip our frontline healthcare workers to make more informed decisions. By downloading and using this app regularly you would be contributing to a rapidly growing collaborative effort to monitor the spread of COVID-19.
Note that submitting your data directly greatly reduces the delay experienced in hospitals/laboratories in identifying new outbreaks of the disease, and expands basic monitoring of our health.
We do not collect any personally identifiable information. No information you share will be used for commercial purposes.
This app allows you to help researchers and government agencies to monitor and control the spread of COVID-19 but does not give health advice. If you need health advice please visit the CDC website at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
This temperature information entered in this app by users across the country will be used to detect influenza-like illness (ILI) activity in a region. By using spatial science analytics applied to these data and by comparing the observed trends against the historical data we have, we will identify anomalous emerging activity in ILI and generate real-time, pre-clinical, risk estimates of potential COVID-19 outbreaks.

Comments:
`I've tried to get this to work twice. When I select my sex and game bracket then hit next, it says "Sorry,something went wrong. Try again later"`,I had an earlier version that partially worked (could submit data but couldn't tell if it actually submitted because the counter didn't show how many days I submitted) and I couldn't edit my profile. New version clean install won't accept any profile data. Just tells me that there was a problem and to try again.
I have never left a negative review before, BUT, unfortunately like some other's before me, after I entered the demographic data and pressed enter it just says something went wrong. I tried reinstalling the app and it made no difference.
